Fishing Boat Tradgedy-Kings Lynn Memorial

[Grant45]

Hello Everyone
         On the 19 Nov 1875 five fishing boats from Fife were lost in a storm having left Great Yarmouth for Fife in a break in the storm .I have several relations who were lost on these boats. I have seen a reference to a memorial to this event in Kings Lynn .Does anyone know where this memorial is ? Could someone also suggest which local newsparers might have carried reports of the event.

                                       Thanks

I could find no reference to a memorial in my book but who knows.
